Legend, I think you should get ready too, because MS has talked about drastically increasing their casual projects.

 

But MS will never go the Nintendo route. They will go for some casual stuff but it won't be the focus.

 

 


It's not the focus now... why does everyone suddenly think Nintendo is focusing on nothing but casual?  Is it really just because they started a new series of casual games (the Wii plays, sports, etc.)??? There is no evidence whatsoever of Nintendo dropping the hardcore.  All they did was add to their market.  I wish people would at least shut the hell up about this till E3.


Basically some think it because of what happened at Nintendo's gamer's day.  Instead of announcing any core/hardcore games they simply said they were going to focus on the casual audience.  People will mention Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl as examples of things still being the same but they have to remember those were announced over a year ago.  Ask yourself this, after those three games are out what other hardcore/core Nintendo first party game have I seen pictures for or know are in development that I'm waiting for next year?  Can you name even three of them?

I imagine some people will say "Hey but wait for E3!" and hopefully they're right but that's not the impression some got at their gamer's day (like the editor in chief of Play Magazine who's statements about Nintendo's gamer's day I posted in here).
